ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord, RJ-45, PoE, 5 m, Orange

The ROLINE Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord is a high-performance network cable engineered for reliable data transmission in Class E environments. This 5-meter cable features advanced S/FTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference to ensure stable connectivity. Designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE), it provides both data and power to compatible network devices, making it a versatile solution for modern office and home network setups.

Advantages

This patch cord offers exceptional signal integrity thanks to its S/FTP (PiMF) construction, which protects against crosstalk and external interference. The inclusion of high-quality gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensures long-term durability and optimal electrical conductivity. The cable is built with a flexible 4-pair stranded copper wire design, allowing for easy routing in tight spaces without compromising performance. Additionally, the integrated moulded kink protection prevents damage to the connector ends, extending the lifespan of the cable even in high-traffic areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras or VoIP phones
• Structured cabling in home and office environments
• High-speed data transmission in Class E networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use where it would be exposed to harsh weather conditions or direct sunlight, as the jacket is designed for indoor environments. Furthermore, it is not suitable for applications requiring cable lengths exceeding the standard limits for Ethernet connections without the use of active network hardware.

How to use

To use the ROLINE Cat.6 patch cord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain signal quality. For optimal performance in a structured cabling system, connect the cable between wall jacks, patch panels, or directly between network hardware components.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat.6 standards
• Confirm if your devices require PoE functionality
• Check if the orange color meets your cable management or identification needs

Usage recommendations: For a complete and certified structured cabling system, it is recommended to pair this patch cord with compatible ROLINE Cat.6 shielded wall jacks and patch panels. This combination has been tested in a 100-meter channel to ensure full compliance with Class E specifications.
